The interplay between topological defects, such as dislocations or disclinations, and the electronic degrees of freedom in graphene has been extensively studied. In the literature, for the study of this kind of problems, it is in general…

Topological defects in graphene, dislocations and grain boundaries, are still not well understood despites the considerable number of experimental observations. We introduce a general approach for constructing dislocations in graphene…

A description of dislocations and disclinations defects in terms of Riemann--Cartan geometry is given, with the curvature and torsion tensors being interpreted as the surface densities of the Frank and Burgers vectors, respectively. A new…

A continuum model to study the influence of dislocations on the electronic properties of condensed matter systems is described and analyzed. The model is based on a geometrical formalism that associates a density of dislocations with the…

We describe defects - dislocations and disclinations - in the framework of Riemann-Cartan geometry. Curvature and torsion tensors are interpreted as surface densities of Frank and Burgers vectors, respectively. Equations of nonlinear…

Two-dimensional materials were first isolated no longer than ten years ago, and a comprehensive understanding of their properties under non-planar shapes is still being developed. Strictly speaking, the theoretical study of the properties…

The appealing connection between non-Euclidean geometries and defects in solids is brought forth in this article. Drawing a correspondence between the nature of a defect and a specific geometric property of the material space not only…

A continuum mechanical framework for the description of the geometry and kinematics of defects in material structure is proposed. The setting applies to a body manifold of any dimension which is devoid of a Riemannian or a parallelism…

A new geometrically exact micro-structured model is constructed using a generalisation of the notion of Riemann-Cartan manifolds and fibre bundle theory of rank 3. This model is based around the concept of two different length scales: a…

Our results concern geometry of a manifold endowed with a pair of complementary orthogonal distributions (plane fields) and a time-dependent Riemannian metric. The work begins with formulae concerning deformations of geometric quantities as…

Defects play a key role in the electronic structure of graphene layers flat or curved. Topological defects in which an hexagon is replaced by an n-sided polygon generate long range interactions that make them different from vacancies or…

This study undertakes the mathematical modelling and numerical analysis of dislocations within the framework of differential geometry. The fundamental configurations, i.e. reference, intermediate and current configurations, are expressed as…

Variational geometries describing corrugated graphene sheets are proposed. The isothermal thermomechanical properties of these sheets are described by a 2-dimensional Weyl space. The equation that couples the Weyl geometry with isothermal…

We develop a conformal geometric model for grain boundaries in graphene based on a periodic line of alternating disclinations. Within the framework of (2+1)-dimensional gravity, we solve a reduced form of the Einstein equations to determine…

Incomplete stacking dislocations are predicted to form at edges of the shorter upper layer in two-dimensional hexagonal bilayers upon stretching the longer bottom layer. A concept of the edge Burgers vector is introduced to describe such…

The physical consistency of the match of piecewise-$C^0$ metrics is discussed. The mathematical theory of gravitational discontinuity hypersurfaces is generalized to cover the match of regularly discontinuous metrics. The mean-value…

We present a general method to identify topological materials by studying the local electronic density $\delta \rho \left(\boldsymbol{r}\right)$. More specifically, certain types of defects or spatial textures such as vacancies, turn…

Defects in solid commonly limit mechanical performance of the material. However, recent measurements reported that the extraordinarily high strength of graphene is almost retained with the presence of grain boundaries. We clarify in this…

In graphene in the presence of strain the elasticity theory metric naturally appears. However, this is not the one experienced by fermionic quasiparticles. Fermions propagate in curved space, whose metric is defined by expansion of the…

This study presents a comprehensive mathematical model for Volterra defects and explores their relations using differential geometry on Riemann--Cartan manifolds. Following the standard Volterra process, we derived the Cartan moving frame,…
